- 0:01Speaker 1: Welcome to this sleep story from Abide a Bible meditation
- 0:06Speaker 1: to help you relax, release your worries, and fall asleep.
- 0:11Speaker 1: When you think of what it means to store up
- 0:14Speaker 1: treasure in heaven, it might feel like an elusive thought,
- 0:19Speaker 1: something that is distant and out of reach. Yet storing
- 0:24Speaker 1: up treasure on earth is something most of us strive
- 0:26Speaker 1: for and spend years of our life trying to achieve. However,
- 0:32Speaker 1: the pressures of building earthly treasures can become overwhelming. We
- 0:37Speaker 1: feel pressure to make more money, get a better job,
- 0:41Speaker 1: and build notable lives. Worries about our jobs, finances, and
- 0:46Speaker 1: the future try to consume us. That's why we need
- 0:51Speaker 1: to hear the promises of God every day and receive
- 0:56Speaker 1: his direction. We need to turn our affections to what
- 1:00Speaker 1: it means to store up treasure in heaven. This will
- 1:05Speaker 1: be our focus tonight, storing up treasures in heaven as
- 1:10Speaker 1: we hear encouraging words from the scriptures and receive comfort
- 1:13Speaker 1: in knowing that storing up treasure in heaven far surpasses
- 1:17Speaker 1: our bank accounts on Earth. Rest on that statement for
- 1:22Speaker 1: a moment. Storing up treasure in heaven far surpasses our
- 1:26Speaker 1: bank accounts on earth. Before we begin our Bible meditation,
- 1:33Speaker 1: Please remove any distractions, get comfortable, pull the soft covers
- 1:42Speaker 1: around you, and simply rest. Allow your breathing to become
- 1:50Speaker 1: soft and steady. Start with a deep breath in and
- 1:56Speaker 1: slowly exhale. Feel your breath fall into a steady cadence
- 2:01Speaker 1: of peace. Let's pray. Dear God, we invite you here
- 2:09Speaker 1: tonight to fill the room with your presence. We do
- 2:14Speaker 1: not take this invitation lightly, Lord, but instead we humble
- 2:18Speaker 1: ourselves as you inhabit this room. Without you, Oh Lord,
- 2:24Speaker 1: we are empty. No amount of money, resources, talent, or
- 2:29Speaker 1: treasure can fill us up. We are nothing without you. Please, Lord,
- 2:37Speaker 1: speak through the dreams of this listener tonight and point
- 2:40Speaker 1: them Heaven. Word in Christ Jesus, beyond the pressures of life.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Lift their thoughts to the highest of heights, the place
- 2:50Speaker 1: where you dwell Heaven. We commit this sleep meditation to
- 2:56Speaker 1: you and ask for your continued guidance throughout the night.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Thank you Father for being faithful through the night watches
- 3:05Speaker 1: and into the start of a new day. And you
- 3:09Speaker 1: we put our trust, our hope, and our peace in
- 3:14Speaker 1: the precious name of Jesus. Amen. Matthew recorded these beloved
- 3:22Speaker 1: words of Jesus in Chapter six, verses nineteen through twenty one.
- 3:28Speaker 1: Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where
- 3:33Speaker 1: moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
- 3:37Speaker 1: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither
- 3:42Speaker 1: moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break
- 3:45Speaker 1: in and steal. Where your treasure is there your heart
- 3:52Speaker 1: will be also. Let this passage sink deep into your heart, mind,
- 3:58Speaker 1: and soul. Tonight, breathe in slowly and exhale. Feel the
- 4:09Speaker 1: presence of the Holy Spirit in the room. How comforting
- 4:14Speaker 1: it is to be in his presence. Every worry and
- 4:18Speaker 1: concern falls away when God is moving and active in
- 4:22Speaker 1: our lives. Remain in his presence now. Jesus was clear
- 4:30Speaker 1: when he said, do not lay up for yourselves treasures
- 4:35Speaker 1: on earth. This command is easier said than done. But
- 4:41Speaker 1: it is possible, my friend, for with God, all things
- 4:46Speaker 1: are possible. Rest assured in the possibilities that lay before
- 4:51Speaker 1: you in Jesus name, breathe deeply of God's guidance as
- 5:00Speaker 1: he leads you to build up treasures in heaven, treasures
- 5:04Speaker 1: of love, joy, goodness, kindness, and peace. For these holy
- 5:11Speaker 1: treasures bring us the deepest contentment feel the contentment God's
- 5:16Speaker 1: holiness brings. The love we have for our family and
- 5:22Speaker 1: friends is a beautiful treasure. The joy we experience in
- 5:26Speaker 1: the beauty of God's creation is a priceless experience. The
- 5:32Speaker 1: goodness and kindness that builds others up is equal to
- 5:35Speaker 1: store houses of treasure. The peace that God gives us
- 5:40Speaker 1: is more precious than silver or gold. These godly attributes
- 5:46Speaker 1: are heavenly treasures we can gather as often as we want.
- 5:51Speaker 1: They are not limited to time, money, or any earthly pursuit.
- 5:56Speaker 1: They are freely given and freely received. Building up storehouses
- 6:02Speaker 1: of treasure in heaven. For where your treasure is there,
- 6:09Speaker 1: your heart may be also Align your heart with God's heart. Tonight,
- 6:16Speaker 1: let your heart cry be that of David's. From Psalm
- 6:20Speaker 1: fifty one, verse ten. Create in me a pure heart,
- 6:25Speaker 1: O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Purity
- 6:31Speaker 1: of heart, a steadfast spirit treasures in heaven. Allow these
- 6:37Speaker 1: to be your heart's petition before God tonight. Release all
- 6:44Speaker 1: earthly affections from money and increase, for the steps of
- 6:49Speaker 1: a man are established by the Lord. When he delights

- 7:32Speaker 1: of quick fixes and instant gratifications, you are our constant
- 7:37Speaker 1: source of joy. Please remind us of this when we

- 7:47Speaker 1: fill our lives with superficial peace. Remind us that where
- 7:52Speaker 1: our treasure is, their heart is also Forgive us. Lord,
- 8:00Speaker 1: we're seeking other ways to bring happiness. Show us what

- 9:00Speaker 1: break in and steal. For where your treasure is there,
- 9:05Speaker 1: your heart will be also. It was the Reverend Billy
- 9:11Speaker 1: Graham who once wrote, in the midst of sorrow and trouble,
- 9:16Speaker 1: this life has many blessings and enjoyments which have come
- 9:20Speaker 1: from the hand of God. Even our capacity for love
- 9:24Speaker 1: is a gift from God. We show our gratitude by
- 9:29Speaker 1: giving back to him a part of that which He
- 9:32Speaker 1: has given to us. Blessings, enjoyment, and even our capacity
- 9:37Speaker 1: for love are God's gifts to us. His gifts are
- 9:43Speaker 1: so lavish, there is plenty to share. We can give
- 9:48Speaker 1: back to him, and we can pass the blessing on
- 9:50Speaker 1: to others. From his overflow of love, you extend that
- 9:58Speaker 1: love to others. From his extraordinary peace, you can display
- 10:04Speaker 1: that peace in your home and workplace. From his abundant joy,
- 10:09Speaker 1: you can radiate joy to everyone around you. These are
- 10:14Speaker 1: the beautiful treasures you build in heaven. Feel joy in
- 10:18Speaker 1: the abundance of your heavenly treasures. Now there's an old
- 10:24Speaker 1: song titled There's a Treasure in Heaven. A portion of
- 10:30Speaker 1: the lyrics go like this, There's a treasure in heaven,
- 10:36Speaker 1: faithfully kept in God's care. Bridges beyond measure, silver and
- 10:42Speaker 1: gold can't compare. Saints will be there to join us
- 10:47Speaker 1: in a joyful reunion. We'll see there's a treasure in
- 10:51Speaker 1: heaven waiting there for me. Holy God, creator of heaven
- 10:59Speaker 1: and Earth, Please cover this beloved child with peace. Lead
- 11:05Speaker 1: them from one pleasant dream to another, dreams of heavenly treasures.

- 30:08Speaker 1: is more precious than silver or gold. These godly attributes
- 30:13Speaker 1: are heavenly treasures we can gather as often as we want.
- 30:19Speaker 1: They are not limited to time, money, or any earthly pursuit.
- 30:24Speaker 1: They are freely given and freely received. Building up storehouses
- 30:29Speaker 1: of treasure and heaven. For where your treasure is there

- 32:04Speaker 1: our constant source of joy. Please remind us of this
- 32:10Speaker 1: when we strive to store treasures on earth, make more money,
- 32:14Speaker 1: and fill our lives with superficial peace. Remind us that
- 32:19Speaker 1: where our treasure is, their heart is also. Forgive us,
- 32:26Speaker 1: Lord for seeking other ways to bring happiness. Show us
- 32:31Speaker 1: what it means to have true joy, the joy that

- 33:12Speaker 1: do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where
- 33:15Speaker 1: moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
- 33:20Speaker 1: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither
- 33:24Speaker 1: moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break
- 33:28Speaker 1: in and steal. For where your treasure is there, your
- 33:33Speaker 1: heart will be also. It was the Reverend Billy Graham
- 33:38Speaker 1: who once wrote, in the midst of sorrow and trouble,
- 33:44Speaker 1: this life has many blessings and enjoyments which have come
- 33:47Speaker 1: from the hand of God. Even our capacity for love
- 33:52Speaker 1: is a gift from God. We show our gratitude by
- 33:56Speaker 1: giving back to Him a part of that which He
- 33:59Speaker 1: has given to us. Blessings, enjoyment, and even our capacity
- 34:05Speaker 1: for love are God's gifts to us. His gifts are
- 34:10Speaker 1: so lavish, there is plenty to share. We can give
- 34:15Speaker 1: back to Him, and we can pass to blessing on
- 34:18Speaker 1: to others. From his overflow of love, you extend that
- 34:25Speaker 1: love to others. From his extraordinary piece, you can display
- 34:31Speaker 1: that peace in your home and workplace. From his abundant joy,
- 34:37Speaker 1: you can radiate joy to everyone around you. These are
- 34:41Speaker 1: the beautiful treasures you build in heaven. Feel joy in
- 34:46Speaker 1: the abundance of your heavenly treasures. Now, there's an old
- 34:52Speaker 1: song titled There's a Treasure in Heaven. A portion of
- 34:58Speaker 1: the lyrics go like this, There's a treasure in heaven,
- 35:04Speaker 1: faithfully kept in God's care. Bridges beyond measure, silver and
- 35:09Speaker 1: gold can't compare. Saints will be there to join us
- 35:14Speaker 1: in a joyful reunion. We'll see there's a treasure in
- 35:19Speaker 1: heaven waiting there for me. Holy God, creator of heaven
- 35:27Speaker 1: and Earth, please cover this beloved child with peace. Lead
- 35:32Speaker 1: them from one pleasant dream to another, dreams of heavenly treasures.
- 35:39Speaker 1: Overflow them with your loving kindness, your goodness, and your
- 35:43Speaker 1: faithful provision. For in you we have everything we need.
- 35:49Speaker 1: Bless this listener, Lord, Bless them, Keep them and guard them.
- 35:55Speaker 1: Show them the abundant blessings found in you. Spur the

- 36:31Speaker 1: We look to you to provide just what we need
- 36:34Speaker 1: for life and for eternity. Thank you, We praise you
- 36:39Speaker 1: for being our ultimate treasure in heaven, our light and
- 36:43Speaker 1: our salvation. It is in the precious name of Jesus,
- 36:48Speaker 1: I pray Amen. When you think of what it means
- 36:54Speaker 1: to store up treasure in heaven, it might feel like
- 36:58Speaker 1: an elusive thought, something that is distant and out of reach.
- 37:04Speaker 1: Yet storing up treasure on earth is something most of
- 37:07Speaker 1: us strive for and spend years of our life trying
- 37:11Speaker 1: to achieve. However, the pressures of building earthly treasures can
- 37:16Speaker 1: become overwhelming. We feel pressure to make more money, get
- 37:21Speaker 1: a better job, and build notable lives. Worries about our jobs, finances,
- 37:27Speaker 1: and the future try to consume us. That's why we
- 37:32Speaker 1: need to hear the promises of God every day and
- 37:36Speaker 1: receive his direction. We need to turn our affections to
- 37:41Speaker 1: what it means to store up treasure in heaven. This
- 37:46Speaker 1: will be our focus tonight, storing up treasures in heaven
- 37:51Speaker 1: as we hear encouraging words from the scriptures and receive
- 37:54Speaker 1: comfort in knowing that storing up treasure in heaven far
- 37:58Speaker 1: surpasses our bank account on Earth. Rest on that statement
- 38:03Speaker 1: for a moment. Storing up treasure in heaven far surpasses
- 38:07Speaker 1: our bank accounts on Earth. Before we begin our Bible meditation,
- 38:14Speaker 1: Please remove any distractions, get comfortable, pull the soft covers

- 58:05Speaker 1: Reverend Billy Graham who once wrote, in the midst of
- 58:09Speaker 1: sorrow and trouble, this life has many blessings and enjoyments
- 58:14Speaker 1: which have come from the hand of God. Even our
- 58:18Speaker 1: capacity for love is a gift from God. We show
- 58:23Speaker 1: our gratitude by giving back to him a part of
- 58:26Speaker 1: that which He has given to us. Blessings, enjoyment, and
- 58:31Speaker 1: even our capacity for love are God's gifts to us.
- 58:37Speaker 1: His gifts are so lavish. There is plenty to share.
- 58:42Speaker 1: We can give back to him, and we can pass
- 58:44Speaker 1: to blessing on to others. From his overflow of love,
- 58:52Speaker 1: you extend that love to others. From his extraordinary peace,
- 58:58Speaker 1: you can display that peace in your home and workplace.
- 59:02Speaker 1: From his abundant joy, you can radiate joy to everyone
- 59:06Speaker 1: around you. These are the beautiful treasures you build in heaven.
- 59:13Speaker 1: Feel joy in the abundance of your heavenly treasures. Now,
- 59:19Speaker 1: there's an old song titled There's a Treasure in Heaven.
- 59:25Speaker 1: A portion of the lyrics go like this, There's a
- 59:30Speaker 1: treasure in heaven, faithfully kept in God's care. Bridges beyond measure,
- 59:36Speaker 1: silver and gold can't compare. Saints will be there to
- 59:41Speaker 1: join us in a joyful reunion. We'll see there's a
- 59:45Speaker 1: treasure in heaven waiting there for me. Holy God, creator
- 59:54Speaker 1: of heaven and Earth, please cover this beloved child with peace.
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: Lead them from one pleasant dream to another, dreams of
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: heavenly treasures. Overflow them with your loving kindness, your goodness,
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: and your faithful provision. For in you we have everything
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: we need. Bless this listener, Lord, Bless them, keep them
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: and guard them. Show them the abundant blessings found in you.
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: Whisper the truth in their ear, and say to them,
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: this is the way you should go. We trust you Lord,
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: above all earthly gain. We want to build beautiful treasures
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: in heaven. We want our lives to fill heavenly storehouses
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: with overflowing treasures of love, joy, goodness, and kindness. For
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: your word says against such things, there is no law.
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: We love you, Lord. We look to you to provide
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: just what we need for life and for eternity. Thank you,
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: We praise you for being our ultimate treasure in heaven,
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: our light and our salvation. It is in the precious
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: name of Jesus, I pray Amen. When you think of
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: what it means to store up treasure in heaven, it
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: might feel like an elusive thought, something that is distant
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: and out of reach. Yet storing up treasure on earth
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: is something most of us strive for and spend years
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: of our life trying to achieve. However, the pressures of
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: building earthly treasures can become overwhelming. We feel pressure to
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: make more money, get a better job, and build notable lives.
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: Worries about our jobs, finances, and the future try to
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: consume us. That's why we need to hear the promises
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: of God every day and receive his direction. We need
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: to turn our affections to what it means to store
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: up treasure in heaven. This will be our focus tonight,
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: storing up treasures in heaven as we hear encouraging words
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: from the scriptures and receive comfort in knowing that storing
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: up treasure in heaven far surpasses our bank accounts on earth.
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: Rest on that statement for a moment. Storing up treasure
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: in heaven far surpasses our bank accounts on Earth. Before
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: we begin our Bible meditation, please remove any distractions, get comfortable,
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: pull the soft covers around you, and simply rest. Allow
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: your breathing to become soft and steady. Start with a
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: deep breath in and slowly exhale. Fill your breath fall
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: into a steady cadence of peace. Let's pray. Dear God,
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: we invite you here tonight to fill the room with
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: your presence. We do not take this invitation lightly. Lord
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: but instead we humble ourselves as you inhabit this room.
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: Without you, Oh Lord, we are empty. No amount of money, resources, talent,
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: or treasure can fill us up. We are nothing without you. Please, Lord,
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: speak through the dreams of this listener tonight and point
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: them heavenward in Christ Jesus, beyond the pressures of life.
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: Lift their thoughts to the highest of heights, the place
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: where you dwell Heaven. We commit this sleep meditation to
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: you and ask for your continued guidance throughout the night.
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: Thank you Father for being faithful through the night watches
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: and into the start of a new day. And you
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: we put our trust, our hope, and our peace in
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: the precious name of Jesus. Amen. Matthew recorded these beloved
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: words of Jesus in Chapter six, verses nineteen through twenty one.
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: in and steal, Where your treasure is your heart will
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: be also. Let this passage sink deep into your heart,
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: mind and soul. Tonight, Breathe in slowly and exhale. Feel
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: the presence of the Holy Spirit in the room. How
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: comforting it is to be in his presence. Every worry
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: and concern falls away when God is moving and active
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: in our lives. Remain in his presence now. Jesus was
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: clear when he said, do not lay up for yourselves
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: treasures on earth. This command is easier said than done.
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: But it is possible, my friend, For with God all
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: things are possible. Rest assured in the possibilities that lay
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: before you in Jesus's name, Breathe deeply of God's guidance
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: as he leads you to build up treasures in heaven,
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: treasures of love, joy, goodness, kindness, and peace. For these
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: holy treasures bring us the deepest contentment. Feel the contentment
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: God's holiness brings. The love we have for our family
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: and friends is a beautiful treasure. The joy we experience
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: in the beauty of God's creation is a priceless experience.
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: The goodness and kindness that builds others up is equal
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: to store houses of treasure. The peace that God gives
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: us is more precious than silver or gold. These godly
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: attributes are heavenly treasures we can gather as often as
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: we want. They are not limited to time, money, or
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: any earthly pursuit. They are freely given and freely received.
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: Building up storehouses of treasure and heaven. For where your
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: treasure is there your heart may be. Also Align your
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: heart with God's heart. Tonight, let your heart cry be
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: that of David's. From Psalm fifty one, verse ten. Create
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: steadfast spirit within me. Purity of heart, a steadfast spirit,
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: treasures in heaven. Allow these to be your heart's petition
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: before God. Tonight. Release all earthly affections from money and increase.
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: For the steps of a man are established by the Lord.
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: When he delights in his way, You are established in God.
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: Remain in the sure foundation of Jesus Christ. He delights
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: in you when you abide in Him. Abide in the
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: true vine. Your steps are guided by a loving father.
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: Hear his voice say this is the way. Walk in it.
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: Delight in the place in which the Lord has established you. Tonight,
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: Heavenly Father, you are our delight in a world that
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: is full of quick fixes and instant gratifications. You are
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: our constant source of joy. Please remind us of this
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: when we strive to store treasures on earth, make more money,
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: and fill our lives with superficial peace. Remind us that
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: where our treasure is, their heart is also. Forgive us,
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: Lord for seeking other ways to bring happiness. Show us
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: what it means to have true joy, the joy that
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: comes from the fruit of your spirit. Please, Lord, cover
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: this beloved child with the assurance that you are their
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: peace and provision. They can fully depend on you in
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: Jesus' name. Amen, in your job, you can depend on Jesus.
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: In your relationships. You can depend on Jesus in your home.
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: You can depend on Jesus. Rest deeply in your dependency
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: on him. Tonight, Do not lay up for yourselves treasures
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: break and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: not break in and steal. For where your treasure is there,
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: your heart will be also. It was the Reverend Billy

- 1:25:42Speaker 1: name of Jesus, I pray Amen. When you think of
- 1:25:49Speaker 1: what it means to store up treasure in heaven. It
- 1:25:52Speaker 1: might feel like an elusive thought, something that is distant
- 1:25:57Speaker 1: and out of reach. Yet storing up treasure on earth
- 1:26:01Speaker 1: is something most of us strive for and spend years
- 1:26:05Speaker 1: of our life trying to achieve. However, the pressures of
- 1:26:09Speaker 1: building earthly treasures can become overwhelming. We feel pressure to
- 1:26:14Speaker 1: make more money, get a better job, and build notable lives.
- 1:26:20Speaker 1: Worries about our jobs, finances, and the future try to
- 1:26:24Speaker 1: consume us. That's why we need to hear the promises
- 1:26:29Speaker 1: of God every day and receive his direction. We need
- 1:26:34Speaker 1: to turn our affections to what it means to store
- 1:26:37Speaker 1: up treasure in heaven. This will be our focus tonight,
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: storing up treasures in heaven as we hear encouraging words
- 1:26:48Speaker 1: from the scriptures and receive comfort in knowing that storing
- 1:26:52Speaker 1: up treasure in heaven far surpasses our bank accounts on earth.
- 1:26:57Speaker 1: Rest on that statement for a moment, Browing up treasure
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: in heaven far surpasses our bank accounts on earth. Before
- 1:27:07Speaker 1: we begin our Bible meditation, please remove any distractions, get comfortable,
- 1:27:17Speaker 1: pull the soft covers around you, and simply rest. Allow
- 1:27:25Speaker 1: your breathing to become soft and steady. Start with a

- 1:27:48Speaker 1: your presence. We do not take this invitation lightly, Lord,
- 1:27:53Speaker 1: but instead we humble ourselves as you inhabit this room.
- 1:27:58Speaker 1: Without you, Oh Lord, we are empty. No amount of money, resources, talent,
- 1:28:05Speaker 1: or treasure can fill us up. We are nothing without you. Please, Lord,

- 1:28:45Speaker 1: we put our trust, our hope, and our peace in
- 1:28:51Speaker 1: the precious name of Jesus. Amen Matthew recorded these beloved
- 1:28:58Speaker 1: words of Jesus, Chapter six, Verses nineteen through twenty one.
- 1:29:05Speaker 1: Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where
- 1:29:09Speaker 1: moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steel,
- 1:29:14Speaker 1: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither
- 1:29:18Speaker 1: moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break
- 1:29:22Speaker 1: in and steal. Where your treasure is there, your heart
- 1:29:28Speaker 1: will be also. Let this passage sink deep into your heart, mind,
- 1:29:34Speaker 1: and soul. Tonight, breathe in slowly and exhale. Feel the
- 1:29:45Speaker 1: presence of the Holy Spirit in the room. How comforting
- 1:29:50Speaker 1: it is to be in his presence. Every worry and
- 1:29:54Speaker 1: concern falls away when God is moving and active in
- 1:29:58Speaker 1: our lives. Remain in his presence now. Jesus was clear
- 1:30:07Speaker 1: when he said, do not lay up for yourselves treasures
- 1:30:11Speaker 1: on earth. This command is easier said than done. But
- 1:30:17Speaker 1: it is possible, my friend, For with God all things
- 1:30:22Speaker 1: are possible. Rest assured in the possibilities that lay before
- 1:30:28Speaker 1: you in Jesus name, Breathe deeply of God's guidance as

- 1:30:47Speaker 1: treasures bring us the deepest contentment. Feel the contentment God's
- 1:30:53Speaker 1: holiness brings. The love we have for our family and
- 1:30:58Speaker 1: friends is a beautiful treasure. The joy we experience in
- 1:31:03Speaker 1: the beauty of God's creation is a priceless experience. The
- 1:31:08Speaker 1: goodness and kindness that builds others up is equal to
- 1:31:12Speaker 1: storehouses of treasure. The peace that God gives us is
- 1:31:17Speaker 1: more precious than silver or gold. These godly attributes are
- 1:31:22Speaker 1: heavenly treasures we can gather as often as we want.
- 1:31:27Speaker 1: They are not limited to time, money, or any earthly pursuit.
- 1:31:33Speaker 1: They are freely given and freely received. Building up storehouses
- 1:31:38Speaker 1: of treasure and heaven. For where your treasure is there
- 1:31:45Speaker 1: your heart may be. Also align your heart with God's heart. Tonight,
- 1:31:52Speaker 1: let your heart cry be that of David's from Psalm
- 1:31:56Speaker 1: fifty one, verse ten. In me a pure heart, O God,
- 1:32:03Speaker 1: and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Purity of heart,
- 1:32:09Speaker 1: a steadfast spirit, treasures in heaven. Allow these to be
- 1:32:14Speaker 1: your heart's petition before God Tonight. Release all earthly affections

- 1:32:26Speaker 1: are established by the Lord. When he delights in his way.
- 1:32:33Speaker 1: You are established in God. Remain in the sure foundation

- 1:33:14Speaker 1: source of joy. Please remind us of this when we
- 1:33:19Speaker 1: strive to store treasures on earth, make more money, and
- 1:33:24Speaker 1: fill our lives with superficial peace. Remind us that where
- 1:33:28Speaker 1: our treasure is, their heart is also. Forgive us, Lord
- 1:33:36Speaker 1: for seeking other ways to bring happiness. Show us what
- 1:33:40Speaker 1: it means to have true joy, the joy that comes
- 1:33:44Speaker 1: from the fruit of your spirit. Please, Lord, cover this

- 1:34:24Speaker 1: moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
- 1:34:29Speaker 1: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither
- 1:34:33Speaker 1: moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break
- 1:34:37Speaker 1: in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your
- 1:34:41Speaker 1: heart will be also. It was the Reverend Billy Graham
- 1:34:47Speaker 1: who once rode in the midst of sorrow and trouble.
- 1:34:53Speaker 1: This life has many blessings and enjoyments which have come
- 1:34:56Speaker 1: from the hand of God. Even our capacit city for
- 1:35:00Speaker 1: love is a gift from God. We show our gratitude
- 1:35:05Speaker 1: by giving back to him a part of that which
- 1:35:08Speaker 1: He has given to us. Blessings, enjoyment, and even our
- 1:35:13Speaker 1: capacity for love are God's gifts to us. His gifts
- 1:35:19Speaker 1: are so lavish, there is plenty to share. We can
- 1:35:24Speaker 1: give back to him, and we can pass the blessing
- 1:35:26Speaker 1: on to others. From his overflow of love, you extend
- 1:35:34Speaker 1: that love to others. From his extraordinary peace, you can

- 1:51:14Speaker 1: we hear encouraging words from the scriptures and receive comfort
- 1:51:17Speaker 1: in knowing that storing up treasure in heaven far surpasses
- 1:51:21Speaker 1: our bank accounts on Earth. Rest on that statement for
- 1:51:25Speaker 1: a moment, storing up treasure in Heaven far surpasses our
- 1:51:30Speaker 1: bank accounts on Earth. Before we begin our Bible meditation,
- 1:51:37Speaker 1: please remove any distractions, get comfortable, pull the soft covers
- 1:51:46Speaker 1: around you, and simply rest. Allow your breathing to become
- 1:51:54Speaker 1: soft and steady. Start with a deep breath in and
- 1:52:00Speaker 1: lowly exhale. Fill your breath fall into a steady cadence
- 1:52:05Speaker 1: of peace. Let's pray. Dear God, we invite you here
- 1:52:13Speaker 1: tonight to fill the room with your presence. We do
- 1:52:18Speaker 1: not take this invitation lightly, Lord, but instead we humble
- 1:52:22Speaker 1: ourselves as you inhabit this room. Without you, Oh Lord,
- 1:52:28Speaker 1: we are empty. No amount of money, resources, talent, or
- 1:52:33Speaker 1: treasure can fill us up. We are nothing without you. Please, Lord,
- 1:52:40Speaker 1: speak through the dreams of this listener tonight and point
- 1:52:44Speaker 1: them Heaven word in Christ Jesus, beyond the pressures of life.
- 1:52:50Speaker 1: Lift their thoughts to the highest of heights, the place
- 1:52:54Speaker 1: where you dwell Heaven. We commit this sleep meditation to
- 1:52:59Speaker 1: you and ask for your continued guidance throughout the night.
- 1:53:05Speaker 1: Thank you, Father for being faithful through the night watches
- 1:53:09Speaker 1: and into the start of a new day. And you
- 1:53:13Speaker 1: we put our trust, our hope, and our peace in
- 1:53:18Speaker 1: the precious name of Jesus. Amen. Matthew recorded these beloved
- 1:53:26Speaker 1: words of Jesus in Chapter six, verses nineteen through twenty one.
- 1:53:32Speaker 1: Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where
- 1:53:36Speaker 1: moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
- 1:53:41Speaker 1: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither
- 1:53:46Speaker 1: moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break
- 1:53:49Speaker 1: in and steal. Where your treasure is there your heart
- 1:53:56Speaker 1: will be also. Let this passage sink deep to your heart, mind,
- 1:54:02Speaker 1: and soul. Tonight, breathe in slowly and exhale. Feel the
- 1:54:13Speaker 1: presence of the Holy Spirit in the room. How comforting
- 1:54:17Speaker 1: it is to be in his presence. Every worry and
- 1:54:22Speaker 1: concern falls away when God is moving and active in
- 1:54:26Speaker 1: our lives. Remain in his presence now. Jesus was clear
- 1:54:34Speaker 1: when he said, do not lay up for yourselves treasures
- 1:54:39Speaker 1: on earth. This command is easier said than done. But
- 1:54:45Speaker 1: it is possible, my friend, For with God all things
- 1:54:50Speaker 1: are possible. Rest assured in the possibilities that lay before you.
- 1:54:56Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, breathe deeply of God's guidance as he
- 1:55:04Speaker 1: leads you to build up treasures in heaven, treasures of love, joy, goodness, kindness,
- 1:55:12Speaker 1: and peace. For these holy treasures bring us the deepest contentment.
- 1:55:19Speaker 1: Feel the contentment God's holiness brings. The love we have
- 1:55:25Speaker 1: for our family and friends is a beautiful treasure. The
- 1:55:29Speaker 1: joy we experience in the beauty of God's creation is
- 1:55:32Speaker 1: a priceless experience. The goodness and kindness that builds others
- 1:55:38Speaker 1: up is equal to store houses of treasure. The peace
- 1:55:42Speaker 1: that God gives us is more precious than silver or gold.
- 1:55:48Speaker 1: These godly attributes are heavenly treasures we can gather as
- 1:55:53Speaker 1: often as we want. They are not limited to time, money,
- 1:55:58Speaker 1: or any earthly pursuit. They are freely given and freely received.
- 1:56:04Speaker 1: Building up storehouses of treasure in heaven, for where your
- 1:56:11Speaker 1: treasure is there, your heart may be. Also Align your
- 1:56:17Speaker 1: heart with God's heart. To night, let your heart cry
- 1:56:21Speaker 1: be that of David's. From Psalm fifty one, verse ten.
- 1:56:27Speaker 1: Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew
- 1:56:31Speaker 1: a steadfast spirit within me. Purity of heart, a steadfast spirit.
- 1:56:38Speaker 1: Treasures in heaven. Allow these to be your heart's petition
- 1:56:43Speaker 1: before God to night. Release all earthly affections from money
- 1:56:49Speaker 1: and increase, for the steps of a man are established
- 1:56:54Speaker 1: by the Lord when he delights in his way.
